Last week we all went with Dad hunting. Paul went hunting and we just camped. We went up past Strawberry Reservoir, clear up in the mountains. Where there is no bathrooms, no water nothing other than trees, dirt, and wild life. We got there near dark, so Paul helped me get the tent up and left us to set up the rest. Wyatt and Dean helped me jump on the beds as I made them.

When Paul got back to camp we were all ready for bed. I asked Paul if he saw anything, He said "I saw a monster elk". Wyatt's eyes got huge and asked his dad if it was a real monster. Going to bed in a cold tent wasn't as easy as we wished it would have been. Wyatt and Dean kept bouncing around on the beds. So we turned out the lantern, then Dean lost it. He cried and cried until he threw up in the tent. Even after we got the boys calmed down and a sleep they didn't sleep that well. So it was a long night for us. The next morning Paul left again really early to go out to try to slay an elk. We got up and ate breakfast then got back into our tent, it was cold.

Pauls 30th birthday was this week. I surprised him good. The night started with Dan and Dayna taking us out to dinner, when reality all of his friends and family were waiting for him at Texas Roadhouse. I was nervse that it wouldn't the surprise wouldn't work or they wouldn't sit us or Paul would be mad at me for doing it, Mostly worried I would spill the beans to Paul, I don't keep secrect very well. When Paul and I walked in they all yelled so loud it scared him. . It was really fun

So this is my birth dad Charles Johnson. We had him over for dinner in July. This was our second time meeting him. He is really nice and loves the kids. A few days later we went up Nicole's home (my older half sister) and met the rest of Chuck's children. I kick myself that I didn't take a picture of all of them. In Chuck's 2nd marrige with Eloise they had 5 kids. Allison that is married to John they have a little boy Elliott, Jordan married to Kristina they have two boys, Ashton and Chase, Brady married to Meredith and they have a cute little girl named Jane, Lindsey and last but not least Riley. It was so great to meet them. They were all so nice.
